Got the car back today and engine light is now out. Auto sparky fitted a terminal to pin 51 and followed wiring diagram for diode and resistor placement. Cheers. Car is a 1997 S1 RS4 auto converted to manual using a power fc for a r34 gt-t for future reference.

Yep, mine is pretty much exactly the same: 1997 S1 RS-Four V converted to manual by the previous owner, then I had the R34 GTt PowerFC with "secret squirrel tweak" done.

Ah yeah, I do remember having issues with that, now that you mention it. The conversion was done a long time ago, so I can't remember (and don't actually remember being told) what was done to fix it.

I think when I had it done it was mid-summertime too, hence my requirement for working air-con.

Does anyone have the info on supplying tps signal to the attessa ecu to make the 4wd to work with the power fc? Mine has never worked since I've had the car. Have the pin 51 mod done and bled the 4wd system, pump primes and I'm not getting any lights in the dash.

I'm assuming it's the tps signal anyway

Heres some relevant info. You'll have to check whether the power fc outputs the voltage to the attesa.

If not then you may need to employ some electronics skills, ie, you could make a splitter for the TPS so it supplies voltage to both the power fc and attesa, however you would need a buffer circuit to ensure that there isnt a voltage drop caused by connecting the sensor to multiple devices.

Cheers. That's a good bit of info and helpful suggestion

Ok, so I have correct tps at attesa ecu. What's next? I can get the pump to run for approx 5 or so seconds with the bleed plug in the kick panel disconnected. However, it doesn't prime when ign is switched on. Could it be a faulty accumulator?

Great thread, just so that I'm in the the clear. I will be removing the NA engine and dropping a RB25NEO AWD from a Stagea into a R34GT-4.
I'm going to throw out he GT4 ecu and use a GTT ecu. To be able to retain the Attessa. I should split the TPS signal into two. One goes to the ECU and one goes to the ATTESSA.
I will be running a Link ECU is it any different to a Power FC in terms of the trick mentioned above?

Did you guys have to purchase a new wiring harness to be able to do this?

Pretty sure the Link goes into the GTT case - you may need an auxiliary loom for the IAT sensor and maybe the Map sensor

Yes it's a plug in ECU. I was worried if it is possible to do the same as covered here for the PFC. I have a map sensor and IAT ready. They connect on an XS loom.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
